Doors Open Ontario:
This unique two-day event allows participating sites to showcase how cuisine has impacted their organizations, the way they tell their stories, and the everyday lives of Londoners. Over 40 sites will be open for exploration free of charge for residents and visitors. They may spotlight local artisan chefs, host demonstrations related to food, offer tours of their facilities, or run activities that demonstrate London’s heritage through the role of cuisine. Examples of activities include farm tours, kitchen tours, cooking classes, re-enactment dinners and interactive history lessons.
This annual event has become widely recognized as a weekend of communal gathering, celebration and recognition for London’s heritage sector, featuring hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to participate “behind the scenes.” The weekend also aims to provide a range of activities to ensure that all community members can match their curiosities and embrace opportunities for public engagement.
Doors Open London events target not only residents of London, but also visitors to the city, coming from those rural areas surrounding the city and beyond. London is primarily an English-speaking community, with a growing population of diverse cultures. Over 20 per cent of London's population is made up of different ethnic groups. London does also have a French-speaking community. Spanish and Arabic are the other two major languages spoken here.
Explore the city and discover its diversity!
